That all looks right at frist glance. It's normal for the state to 
transition after one check...  is it going into a hard state at that 
point?  That's when the notification is generated, so if you're not 
waiting for that third attempt, that would explain why you don't see a 
notification.

It's also not clear to me if you're receiving notifications for the host 
but not for the service, which again, would be normal.  If you don't 
care about the host, you can just igve it a check command that never 
fails (check_dummy works well for that), but I wouldn't normally 
recommend doing that.

What's in the Nagios logs regarding notifications on that host and 
service? Those would give a far clearer idea of what's going on than 
just guessing.
